Bone Creek Gun Club north of Pittsburg, KS (2 hours south of Kansas City) is hosting a low light practical handgun competition Saturday Nov 25th.
This competition is open to the (qualified) public.
While we are a USPSA club this is a non-sanctioned outlaw match. We will follow USPSA safety and major PF scoring rules for all calibers (minimum caliber is 9mm/.38spc).
Who can enter - Shooting at night while moving around barricades can be dangerous. You will have to shoot from awkward positions and while on the move. This match is only open to shooters with experience in dynamic shooting.
Entrants must have shot at least 4 USPSA/IDPA, etc. matches OR be Law Enforcement or Military OR have attended professional training OR have a shooter the match director trusts vouch for you.
Here’s my attempt at shooting Stage 4 last year.
